I went into this thinking it wouldn't be that good but I was so engrossed, the whole movie was like a ball of sunshine, it makes you laugh and smile along with the characters!
Plot summary
Everyone in the Osayande family worries about Isoken. She's beautiful, successful, and surrounded by great family and friends, but she's still single at 34--a serious cause for concern in a culture obsessed with marriage. At her youngest sister's wedding, their overbearing mother thrusts her into an orchestrated matchmaking with the ultimate Edo man: Osaze. He's handsome, successful, and from a good family, which makes him perfect Nigerian-husband material. But in an unexpected turn of events, Isoken meets Kevin and falls in love with him, and he just might be what she truly wants in a partner. The only problem: not only is he not an Edo man--he is Oyinbo (Caucasian). Isoken is a romantic dramedy that explores cultural expectation, racial stereotypes, and the bonds that unite families in touching, dramatic, and comedic ways.

Two Thumbs Up. "Isoken meets Something New"
3 May 2020: Since last year 2019, I have been watching a lot of movies or t.v shows made in Kenya or Nigeria, Africa. I am a big fan and supporter of Interracial movies between Blacks and Whites or Whites and Asians or Blacks and Hispanic or whatever mixture. So, I knew once I read the plot, I knew that I was going to like it. I have been watching a lot of movies and t.v shows made in Nigeria or Kenya Africa. All of the African Actors/Actresses and writers are really talented. I have been watching pretty African actress, Dakore Egbuson~Akande in an African t.v soap drama, "Fifty". She is quite good and so is African Actress, Adesua Etomi. I really liked it. Damilola Adegbite is stunning.
However, the writer and director probably saw the American version titled "Something New" starring pretty and talented Sanaa Lathan {African American}and Simon Baker {Caucasian-White}This is the Nigerian version and it is also quite nice to watch. Mid way into the film, anyone can figure out how it will end.

This for me is way better than all the over hyped nollywood wedding party, Chief daddy and what-have-you. The humour wasn't forced, it came about naturally. Fantastic acting and great plot. Really enjoyed it.
